As well, you were now able to fly any aircraft in the sim - over 100 different types! This was the biggest line-up of flyable aircraft ever seen in a combat and has yet to be equalled.

Of course, to achieve this number, many aircraft shared cockpit art and there were a few boo-boos
made in the aircraft data. I remember the F-111 having only 3,000 lbs of fuel as a notable gaffe...
it actually holds 3,000 GALLONS ! (about 18,000 lbs)

Corrections to aircraft data and the ability to fly any aircraft had been available for
a couple of years thanks to the work of 3rd party (fans) utilities that ran under Windows.
(The sim ran in DOS).
